ATTACKING GOULD.
A Knight of Labor Circular Favors
 Postal Telegraph.

The General Executive Board of the Knights O Labor have sent out circular. It is ill reference to the establishment of Govern ment system of telesSaphs, and directs every local assembly of the great organization to iS- sue red letter calls, appoint committees, and wait upon every Congressman in the separate districts and persuade them to vote for the measure. This secret circular Is one of the most vigorous ever issued by MT. Powdorly, and makes the most bitter attack upon Jay Gould and moncpolists in general that has ever been made by the order.
 It first rubs members of the order for not attending to their duties and working in the interest of Governmental telegraph and then tells of the combined efforts of the managers of telegraph lines to suppress all good and spreai all discouraging news relative to the Knights of Labor. Continuing. the circular says:
 Through the medium of the monopoly gripped wires you are provided each day with column of statistics showing how the order IS being robbed by the general officers. You are told of tho alleged extrsvagance and care lessness of the officers until trfies light ss air are magnified ten thousand fold in the eyes of those who are not in position to examine for themselves.
 ''If a few men who were fairly and honor ably vanquished on the floor of the General Assembly meet at the close of the same, and issue q manifesto making public that which they have been doing in secret for years, namely, their intention to break up this order the fact is heralded throughout the world over the wires of aa institution that will do any thing, fair or unfair, to kill opposition. Rcso- lutions denouncing the policy of the Knights of Labor will be flashed over tho wires to all parts of the country, while a resolution in fla vor of that policy will never be heard from. All of this cannot fail to have & dishearten- ing, and it is expected that it will have a demoralizing effect on our members. You can change your off cers at the end of every term, but you only change them in name so long as the system re- mains which makes it possible for. everything to be colored in favor of one management and one msn. You can change that system if you will but lay aside until the proper time the petty questions that are kept constantly be- fore. you by shortsighted men and de signing knaves they may become so blind as not to sec the real designs that face us."
 NIT. Powderly tells of the power of the West ern Union, and how 1t stands without a rival, instaacing the merging of the Baltimore and Ohio.
 ''Jay Gould rules absolutely the destinies of the American p,ople," says MT. Powlerly, ''and he is the practical owaer of that part of the United States which he wishes to take"
